Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson Joins Hang w/

Acclaimed Rapper, Actor, Producer, Entrepreneur and Philanthropist Brings Additional Star Power to Fast-Growing Live-Streaming Mobile Video Platform.

FOUNTAIN VALLEY, California, August 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --





Hang With Inc., a subsidiary of MEDL Mobile, Inc. (OTCQB: MEDL
[http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=MEDL ]), announced today that famed music artist, actor and
businessman, Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/50_Cent%23cite_note-35
], has joined the "Hang w/" platform.



The Hang w/ mobile app connects people around the globe through live streaming video
and simultaneous chat - allowing hundreds, thousands and eventually millions of users to
"hang with" their favorite people in real time. The platform will be monetized via a fully
integrated advertising model. The app has already been downloaded nearly 400,000 times and
has generated more than 8,000,000 user sessions.



Jackson's impressive body of work has been recognized across the music industry,
having received awards from the American Music Awards, Billboard Music Awards, Grammy
Awards, MTV Music Video Awards, World Music Awards and many others - for an impressive
tally of 83 awards.



From music, Jackson expanded his growing empire to include several entrepreneurial
endeavors. He worked with Glaceau [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glac%C3%A9au ] to create a
vitamin water drink called Formula 50; became a licensed boxing promoter for his new
company SMS Promotions; has stepped successfully into film and television, as both a
producer and as an actor; and is also the founder of SMS Audio [http://smsby50.com ], a
brand of headphones and other consumer audio products, and SK Energy Shots, a brand of
energy shots. Both brands follow a conscious capitalism model, contributing a portion of
sales proceeds to combat hunger in the U.S. and Africa, respectively.



"Hang With has the power to connect people to content and brands in ways never before
possible," said Jackson. "I am excited to use Hang With to connect with my fans and to
watch the platform grow because of its unique and exciting way of connecting people."



"50 Cent is at the top of who's who in entertainment and social media," said Andrew
Maltin, MEDL Mobile CEO. "He's a Grammy-winning music artist who has more than seven
million followers on Twitter and more than 31 million likes on Facebook. We can't wait to
see what happens when his fans can get the most authentic social media experience hanging
with him live."



To date, the Hang w/ platform has attracted more than 70 celebrities and athletes
including Timbaland, Kaskade, Paula Abdul, Jimmy Kimmell, Terrell Owens, Cheech and Chong,
Jessica Sanchez and Jamie Kennedy. Hang w/ recently announced a $2,000,000 Series A Round
Investment that is being used to fund the company's aggressive plans to scale the
platform.
